tocqueville also saw that religion and law also combined to produce material prosperity. another conservatizing effect if you will of the american system. one is astonished by the growing prosperity of the people he writes at one point. in the two decades before tocqueville's visit, americans had been building canals. he traveled on a number of them. and just before he arrived, the first tracks of the baltimore and ohio railroad were being laid down. steamboats were plying the mississippi river with disastrous safety records as he noted. mark twain's life on the mississippi give us an idea what those were like a couple of decades later. travel times and transportation costs were being hugely reduced. and internal trade hugely increased. it's hard to overestimate the difference that it made. i mean, new york was closer in travel time to europe than it was to my home state of michigan before the completion of the erie canal. after the erie canal and lake travel, steamboat travel through lake erie, suddenly products, goods produced in michigan can be transported to new york

of that religion, but it's part of that religion because it is true. so thurman would often encourage us to so thurman would often encourage us to look for truth, certainly within the christian tradition, but also within other traditions. and if we are able to do that, we'll find a common ground upon which we will all stand. for thurman, it related to religion, but also to matters of racial reconciliation. that you can both affirm racial identity and affirm being part of a universal humanity. we get into trouble when we try to ignore particularity, when we claim to not see race or religion. as well as we get into trouble when we fail to recognize that the universal cannot be contained in any one particular. this is howard thurman's gift to us, i believe, to us, especially in the 21st century when we are living in communities with increased pluralism and how am i to relate to other religious traditions which often seem strange and alienating and different from my own. there is a great tendency of people to try to ignore the differences among the religio

there are lots of religions. sports is a religion. the people who hoard money is a religion. the're just trying to say judeo-christian ethic is what he once kept in the home. barack obama can prance around as "protestants" but his religion can really be found at the church he went in chicago. i do not think jesus would vote for anybody, but his teachings would lead him to vote for romney, not because he's better than anyone else, but because he follows the teachings of christ. and what i feel obama is doing. host: thank you for the call. guest: the degree to which people bring their religion to bear, i would just reiterate that many americans seem to make a distinction between too much intermingling of organized religion and organized politics. many people say would be inappropriate for clergy to endorse candidates from the pulpit. people are very uncomfortable with that kind of intermingling. at the same time, in a nation overwhelmingly comprised of believers, many people think it's appropriate for them to bring their religious values to bear in making public decisions. host
